WHAT MAKES THESE WELLIES SO GREAT?

IT'S ALL IN THE DESIGN. ALL MUCK® BOOTS ARE 100% WATERPROOF KEEPING FEET WARM, DRY AND PROTECTED IN HARSH WEATHER AND MESSY WORKING CONDITIONS.

THE SECRET:
Our exclusive, self-insulating, waterproof NEOPRENE shell construction. The NEOPRENE bootie material acts as a "neutral medium" between inside and outside temperatures. Naturally lightweight, and very comfortable, the material keeps the foot and lower leg warm and protected in cold and wet conditions.

Natural rubber overlays act as a protective skin for the upper bootie. The outsole is made of high abrasion natural rubber. With appropriate care and maintenance, the rubber in the boots will stay flexible for years.

WHICH WELLINGTON BOOT WILL KEEP ME WARM OR COOL?

The Original Muck Boot Company offers an extensive range of outdoor footwear solutions, and now with our ‘Comfort Range’ icons, you’ll be able to determine which wellington boot will be warm (or cool) enough for you.

Everyone's temperature is unique to them and how we feel the cold depends on a number of variables ranging from climate, line of work, activity levels, personal body temperatures or even to the type of socks!

HOW ARE OUR WELLIES SIZED?

Everyone’s feet are individual, and we know correctly fitting boots are important. Remember SIZE and FIT are different and any size guide can only be indicative. Fit is affected by the style, last and manufacturing technique used. In most instances our UK sizing runs true but using our Size Guide will help direct you to the right choice.

WHICH OUTSOLE TO USE ON DIFFERENT TERRAINS?

The great outdoors presents a constant challenge – whether geographical, geological or seasonal we might expect to encounter cold, wet, icy, muddy or even sandy conditions. Fortunately, we offer a range of wellies with differing outsoles to manage different terrains. Understanding the terrain you will be using your boots in is the first step to making your selection.
